Beauty on the Backroads

Stories of grace for life's unexpected turns

NBC

Never laugh alone

May 6, 2010

Day 12. I love Thursdays. Best night of TV in the whole week. I’m usually guaranteed at least one good out loud laugh from the NBC lineup of shows. No matter what else happens on Thursdays, I know I’ll have a time of rest and refreshing after Isabelle goes to bed.

Watching our Thursday shows without my husband just isn’t the same. My parents don’t laugh at the same things I do. Maybe it’s a generation thing. Or a sense of humor thing. There’s something about laughing with other people. I’m not a drinker, but there’s an adage about never drinking alone. The same rule should apply to laughing.

Welcome

Hi. I’m Lisa, and I’m glad you’re here. If we were meeting in real life, I’d offer you something to eat or drink while we sat on the porch letting the conversation wander as it does. That’s a little bit what this space is like. We talk about books and family and travel and food and running, whatever I might encounter in world. I’m looking for the beauty in the midst of it all, even the tough stuff. (You’ll find a lot of that here, too.) Thanks for stopping by. Stay as long as you like.
